Live from Julian St....
April 09, 2009
It's official... as of 1pm April 9, we are cablecasting live from Julian Street! Kudos to Justin Cowgill, Luis Costa, and Tracy from Media Control Systems! A huge thanks to the City of San Jose as well, for supporting us through this transition. Streaming online is next...
PLAYBACK SYSTEM ARRIVES
April 07, 2009
This afternoon (... and right on time given the playback issues we've had over the last several days...), our new playback system arrived at the Julian street facility. Like a proud papa, Justin went running down the hallway to greet the delivery men at the door with his camera. Yours truly was quickly given the assignment of photographer as he ripped the cardboard off the racks. Feels like Christmas or something...
This new playback system will allow Programming Manager Luis Costa to move to the Julian Street facility and will allow us to cablecast up to four channels. In addition, we will be able to stream channel 15 online, and have some VOD capability. All of this new gear will be tested over the next few days... so stay tuned for more updates!

Flypack is LIVE
April 02, 2009
Our new flypack prototype made its debut today, and it worked like a charm. The Broadcast Pix Flypack allows us to plug in multiple cameras, and basically have a "studio" in the field. Here are some shots of the Flypack Crew in action at today's Silicon Valley Education Foundation Forum, "Universal Preschool: Dream or Reality."
